The No. 1 ranked Lancaster High School Lady Bruins, 25-0, used a late defensive stand to deliver a thrilling 41-40 home win over fifth-rated Southside High School of Greenville in the third round of the Class AAA Upper State basketball playoffs on Monday, Feb. 23.

LHS, with three fouls to give, held off Southside with back-to-back fouls on the inbounds to leave the Lady Tigers only two seconds to get off a desperation shot.
